A choreographer is suing Epic Games over dance moves included in an old Fortnite emote. Kyle Hanagami, a choreographer who has worked with Britney Spears, Justin Bieber and J-Lo, filed suit against Epic regarding the "It's Complicated" emote, which was released within Fortnite back in August 2020. Lawyers for Hanagami have said the emote uses copyrighted dance moves from a 2017 video set to Charlie Puth's "How Long" (thanks, Kotaku) without credit or compensation. [Read More]

Half-Life remake Black Mesa's new Xen Museum serves up a playable history of its lengthy development

 Posted on May 22, 2023  |  3 minutes  |  471 words  |  Arica Deslauriers

If you're the kind of person who likes to see how the sausage is made - and by sausage I mean stellar Half-Life remake Black Mesa - then there's a bit of a treat in store. Developer Crowbar Collective has just launched the Xen Museum, gathering a host of playable levels and other assorted material from all across Black Mesa's development. More specifically, Xen Museum is (unsurprisingly) focussed on the Xen portion of Black Mesa, which saw Crowbar Collective designing a whole series of new stages to replace the lacklustre - and oft-criticised - alien planet sequence that closes out Valve's original Half-Life.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite review

 Posted on May 22, 2023  |  8 minutes  |  1548 words  |  Patria Henriques

Great fighting, but a drab art style and disappointing roster of characters let the side down. The arrival of a new Marvel vs. Capcom game should be an event. It should send shivers down the spine. It should spark fingertips a-plinking on the buttons of fight sticks. Infinite, though, does none of these things. Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Platform tested: PS4 Platform & availability: Out now I put this deflation down to Infinite's roster of characters. [Read More]

 Posted on May 22, 2023  |  2 minutes  |  417 words  |  Patria Henriques

Peter Molyneux's 22Cans studio has shared first details on its latest game, a sort of creativity-focussed, workshop-tinkering industrialist sim called Legacy. Legacy is 22Cans' fourth title, following on from the fairly well-received hiking oddity The Trail, the ill-fated Godus, and the largely inexplicable cube-prodding weirdness of Curiosity. Its unveiling comes via a lengthy, if somewhat light on detail, video reveal from Red Bull Gaming, which you can see below. [Read More]

Pokémon Go has detailed its next in-game season, which will take the compulsive creature-catching app through the summer months. Beginning on 1st June and ending on 1st September, the perhaps unimaginatively named Season of Go will be heavily punctuated by the game's key summer event: Go Fest. But, happily, there's also more going on - including the recently-confirmed arrival of Pokémon's mysterious extra-dimensional Ultra Beasts. Today, we got our first look at the jellyfish-like Nihilego popping up - appropriately via a wormhole. [Read More]

Rage 2 tech analysis: is 1080p60 the best use for Xbox One X and PS4 Pro?

 Posted on May 22, 2023  |  10 minutes  |  1962 words  |  Fernande Dalal

Rage 2 arrives on consoles slathered in hot pink highlights, mutant entrails and the fingerprints of a new development team. Avalanche Studios picks up the series' reigns, joining id Software to create something rather unique - a fast-paced first-person shooter combined with a large open world. From my perspective, it's a special experience and the dual-studio collaboration pays off handsomely - but the technical decisions behind the game are intriguing, not to mention controversial.

For the King received a generous helping of free DLC updates following its launch on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch, adding the likes of new nautical adventures, journeys to icebound climes, and even a special " [Read More]
